According to Know Your Meme, the skull trumpet or skeleton trumpet meme originated from a 1995 video of a cartoon skeleton playing the trumpet. In 2011, catchy remixes of the videos and various Halloween memes surfaced and proliferated online. “Doot doot” is as an onomatopoeia of the sound of a trumpet. Many memes joke about how skeletons love calcium because it helps them build strong bones. During October, a post about the element calcium is most likely a reference to these skeletons.
